Jewish Museum of Maryland Presents: Purim Pandemonium
Gin & Jews: Speakeasy Style Saturday, March 10, 2012 9pm-1am
Enter the speakeasy and go back to Prohibition - 13 years when America was dry, but the parties never stopped. This year's Purim Pandemonium revives flappers, bootleggers, pleasure-seeking socialites, gangsters, and Prohibition agents. Who do you want to be? Take your pick and come out to live the Roaring '20s. Party-goers over age 21 (with I.D.) can enjoy DJ Matt Statler, dj sheeno, an open bar, and refreshments.
Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 at the door, and $15 each for groups of 10 or more. Click below to purchase tickets or contact at jvess@jewishmuseummd.org Location: The Jewish Museum of Maryland 15 Lloyd Street Baltimore, MD, 21202 Phone: 410-732-6400 |

Operation Oliver with the 6th Branch
Sunday, April 01, 2012
1:00 to 4:00 PM
JVC Young Adults will join up with volunteers from the 6th Branch and THE ASSOCIATED's Sustainability Initiative for this large-scale beautification project. The 6th Branch is a volunteer organization made up of young United States military veterans who bring their military style approach to volunteering in Baltimore. THE ASSOCIATED's Sustainability Initiative is designed to educate Jewish Baltimore about the impact and import of creating a more sustainable future.
Volunteers will meet in the Oliver neighborhood of Baltimore City, an area known for vacant homes, poverty, and crime. We will join with community members for projects involving garbage removal, landscaping, beautification, community art, and tree planting/greenspace creation as part of a larger effort to revitalize the neighborhood of Oliver. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome to participate.
